Download or read book Edward M Curr and the Tide of History written by Samuel Furphy and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that Curr's writings posthumously defeated the Yorta Yorta native title claim has a chilling irony about it, given his earlier appropriation of Yorta Yorta lands for pastoral purposes...During the long Yorta Yorta claim, therefore, Edward M. Curr became something of an historical celebrity, highlighting the need for a detailed appraisal of his life, his biases, his opinions, and his attitudes towards Aboriginal people. This book responds to that need by offering a biography of a man who more than a century after his death became a crucial witness in a major native title case."--Prologue.

Download or read book Edward M Curr and the Tide of History written by Samuel Furphy and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward M. Curr (1820-89) was a pastoralist, horse trader, stock inspector, Aboriginal administrator, author and ethnologist. A prominent figure in the history of the Colony of Victoria, he rose to a senior position in the public service and authored several influential books and essays. He is best remembered for his nostalgic memoir, Recollections of Squatting in Victoria (1883), which has become a standard historical source. This book is the first comprehensive biography of Curr and explores both his life and legacy. In particular, it considers his posthumous influence on the Yorta Yorta native title case (1994-2001), when his written account of the Yorta Yorta ancestors played a key role in the failure of the claim. By exploring Curr's interactions with Aboriginal people" as a pastoralist and Aboriginal administrator"this book advocates a more nuanced, critical, and historically informed interpretation of Curr's ethnological writings than was evident in the Yorta Yorta case.

Download or read book Gugu Badhun written by Yvonne Cadet-James and published by Aiatsis Research Publications. This book was released on 2017 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging historical scholarship and Aboriginal oral tradition, this innovative book tells the story of the Gugu Badhun people of the Valley of Lagoons in North Queensland. It provides new insights into Aboriginal-European interactions, and new understandings of how Aboriginal people sustained their identities and exercised agency. It lays bare violence and oppression, but also recognises the inter-racial cooperation and friendships which were equally part of Gugu Badhun experience. It tells of a people whose options were limited by state power and public racism but who remained proud and undaunted, making their own decisions for their collective and individual benefit. Much of the story is told in the words of Gugu Badhun people themselves. Interviews are interspersed with commentary and analysis by the four authors, one of whom, Yvonne Cadet-James, is herself a Gugu Badhun elder. This collaborative approach has produced a timely book for an Australia in which notions of Indigenous autonomy and self-determination are being re-imagined and re-configured.

Download or read book Not Quite White written by Anne Monsour and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Monsour's study, by investigating the often difficult to locate government archives, has revealed the bureaucratic maze which peaceful and industrious people who were different, had to negotiate in order to gain citizenship ...the story of the acceptance (of) ...Syrian/Lebanese individuals... by the Anglo-Celtic host society, which was in many cases a harrowing one, has been kept silent. In recounting this struggle Anne Monsour has rendered a signal service to our understanding of how the original exclusivist and racist provisions of the 'White Australia Policy' were gradually dismantled. This case study is undoubtedly a major statement concerning Australia's development into becoming an enlightened colour-blind parliamentary democracy.

Download or read book Trogossitidae A review of the beetle family with a catalogue and keys written by Jiri Kolibac and published by PenSoft Publishers LTD. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph contents a review of the beetle family Trogossitidae (Cleroidea). The worldwide distributed family includes 55 recent and 10 extinct genera with about 600 species that are classified within 3 subfamilies and 12 tribes. In spite of fewer number of species, Trogossitidae is morphologically and ecologically extremely diversified. There are four-eyed predators that fly, run and even jump around swiftly in forest clearings to contrast with slow-moving, fungivorous species that dwell under the bark of old trees. There are also species that squat on flowers to feed on pollen grains as well as minute creatures that have been extracted from forest litter. Brief descriptions of all genera as well as keys to all higher taxa are provided. All known species and subspecies are listed, together with complete taxonomic references back to 1910, the date of issue of their last catalogue. The work includes maps of distribution of all genera, colour photographs of generic representatives, SEM photographs and remarks on a phylogeny of particular taxa.
